2011 Map of Douglas East

About this map

Douglas Lake and the marshy expanses of Shallow Alkali Lake anchor this rural landscape in Ward County, which is defined by the rigid North Dakota section-line grid. The map illustrates a high-prairie hydrology where seasonal water bodies and small potholes are common, particularly along the Middle Branch Douglas Creek. Transport throughout this agricultural region relies on a network of unpaved local roads and more significant routes like County Hwy-2 and County Hwy-5131. For researchers, the map provides precise coordinates of farmstead locations and the specific alignment of thoroughfares like 100th St SW and 40th Ave NW as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
